Tips For The Homemaker If you plan to redecorate your home this season, experiment with lighting before you make a final decision about colors. Lighting is an important consideration in any interior design, stresses Katharine Neumann, McHenry county Extension adviser. Light can enhance a color, but it can also distort a beautiful color, making it appear undesirable. Besides natural light, con­ s i d e r i n c a n d e s c e n t , fluorescent, or a combination of these two types of lighting to light your home. Warm in color quality, light from incandescent sources imparts a friendly," homelike feeling to interiors, and it gives sharp definition to objects and shadows. Incandescent light sources enhance the warm colors-yellow, orange, red and brown-and subtly subdue the cool greens and blues. You can also buy tinted in­ candescent bulbs in yellow, pink, aqua, green and blue. Used primarily for decorative purposes, tinted bulbs produce less light than untinted bulbs of equal wattage. I general, tinted light subtly accents like colors and subdues complementary colors. For example, yellow and pink bulbs produce a warm color tint of light that intensifies warm colors and subdues cool colors in home furnishings«On the other hand, aqua, green and blue bulbs give emphasis to cool colors and tone down warm colors in a decorative scheme. Using different colored bulbs, you can make seasonal changes to achieve the color appearance of coolness in summer and warmth in winter: How Can I? by Anne Ashley Q. How can I clean em­ broidery on an article that cannot be laundered? A. Cover the embroidered area with a thick paste of alcohol and powdered chalk, roll up the article and lay it away in a dark place for a few days - then brush off the dry chalk. Q. How can I clean bronze ornaments? A. These items should not be washed. Dust carefully, and follow with a wiping with a cloth moistened in paraffin oil. Then polish with a chamois. Q. How can I remove mascara stains from bathroom towels? A. Since mascara is water- soluble, these stains will usually yield to ordinary laundering. Q. How are slate tile floors properly maintained? A. This type of floor should be dusted with an untreated mop and brushed with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment. Wash with a mop and mild suds, rinsing and wiping dry. Wax makes a fine finish. Q. What can I do when the fudge I am making hardens in its bowl and cannot be poured? A. Add a tablespoon of milk and two or three tablespoons of corn syrup and beat at fifteen- minute speed in your mixer until smooth. Pour im­ mediately. / ^ Q. How can I clean paint and putty stains off of window glass? A. Rub over the glas\with a wet cloth dipped in baking soda. Then, after fifteen minutes or so, wash with clear, warm water, rub until dry, and polish. Q. How can I bring my very unruly hair bangs under con­ trol? A. Dampen the bangs, comb lightly into place, and tape them there. Then apply hair- spray, and comb neatly as soon as it dries. Q. How can I soften a new rope and make it more pliable? A. By soaking it in soapy water for about five minutes before using. Q. How can I, when laun­ dering sweaters and blouses, rid them of all perspiration odor? A. By adding a little am­ monia to the wash water. Q. How can I remove mildew from papers or book pages? A. Dust on some cornstarch and allow this powder to remain on the paper for several days before brushing it off. Q: How can I cope with 1 silverfish in my home? A. One of the most effective methods of discouraging these unwanted guests is by the use of pyrethrum or a commercial insect powder containing it. Spread it liberally around under baseboards and moldings. Q. Please suggest a good and easy method of freshening up suede articles. A. Try brushing the suede with an old nylon stocking. Usually works like magic. Q. How can I prevent weevils from invading my cannisters of flour, cereal and the like? A. By putting a bay leaf in each of these cannisters. This discourages the weevils without the grains absorbing any of the odor of the bayleaf. Q. Is there any way I can remedy small dents in fur­ niture? A. These dents will often rise and disappear when treated with hot water applied with moist paper, holding a hot iron over the paper. Q. How can I remove beer stains from clothing? A. These are usually as easy to remove as they are to acquire, because beer is soluble in water, so, ordinary laun­ dering will do the trick for washable fabrics and sponging with a cloth dipped in soapy water for unwashable. If the stain is old, add a little am­ monia to the wash water. Q. How can I make a good, dead-black, non-glossy paint? A. By thinning some lamp­ black with turpentine or mineral spirits. Q.

Remove the showerhead and boil it for about fifteen minutes in a solution of one quart of water and a half-cup vinegar. Q. How can I deal with some tarnished brass? A. A good rubbing with a lem­ on rind dipped in salt will re­ move most corrosion spots from brass.

Before moving your container plants outdoors for spring and summer vacations, it would be wise to check and see if larger clay pots are needed to accomo­ date added warm weather growth. Soak new clay pots in water for half an hour before repotting. Starting in April, the consumer may gain access to information in his credit file, may have grounds for legal action if the information listed is not correct. Some manufacturers of coffee­ pots, teapots and other appliances for heating liquids are furnishing a shorter cord, hoping to decrease the number of household acci­ dents in which burns are caused by cord entanglement.

Many citizens who retire from the world of business need or desire some part-time activity that will add income to supple­ ment retirement and social secur­ ity benefits. Many, however, just want someUiing to do, something that will provide "busy" hours to offset the possible boredom of having nothing to do. If you are retired, and restless, examine your talents. Count the many experiences of your life. Put them down on paper. When you get them down, you will most likely determine that they have value and may be worth passing on to someone else. One man who retired after a business career which sent him to the far corners of the earth now spends many enjoyable hours telling others about life in Viet­ nam, Japan, Germany and other parts of the world. He is not a paid lecturer, but a guest speak­ er to small groups--civic clubs, boy scout troops, or any other small local organization. He makes a small talk, then answers what­ ever questions he can in an in­ formal chatting session. He finds retirement far from boring. In one community, a retired carpenter lends his services to the "Toys For Tots" program, helping to repair and refurbish used toys so that less fortunate children in the community will have a merrier Christmas. He works when he wants to, when he can, and enjoys every moment of it. He has made many new friends. Many, retired business women find a new outlet for new friends and for activity as they offer their services to charitable organiza­ tions and activities. Retirement years are happier years when there is something to do, something to think about, something to anticipate for to morrow. KIWANl'S NEWS WONDER LAKE! CLUB Speaker at the March 22 meeting was Kiwanis Member Horace Wagner, who described the workings of a banana and coconut plantation in Jamaica. He said growing time for a stalk of bananas is about nine months. Each banana plant produces one stalk of bananas. When the stalk is cut from the tree, the tree is chopped down, allowing another plant to grow from the same roots. The banana plants require moisture, heat and shade. To provide shade, coconut trees are planted throughout the banana grove. _ It takes eight years for a coconut tree to produce. During that time, a tree should produce 300 nuts a year. These nuts ripen throughout the year and are picked regularly when ripe. A green nut has no value. Every part of a coconut tree and a coconut nut has an economic value. The husks are converted to rope, the shell to organic compost, the meat to dry, shredded coconut, and the oil is used for soap.
